  • Even if I’m a beginner, I love the stretches. Even if you’re too fast well, what the pause button for? So this video is a great help!!

  • this video is so relaxing,I would like to let you know for the useful information. ★Growth Boom pro★grow taller product helped me grow ↑3 inches↑ in such a short period of time.
    I was only an inch taller than my mother but now I’m way much taller. i did not see any side effects. if you want to be taller, you should definitely use this product

  • I love your video!!! Love the colours, your calmness, the smile, the ease of the excercises, the Music!! I’m living in London which can be really noisy and this music takes me back to Thailand.. Thank you!��

  • This is the best stretching video so far that I found, I personally found it is great without talking (and with awesome music too!) as it suppose to be relaxing not talking. Thank you so much for the great video! I love it!

  • Most of it is too fast to follow and it’s not even visible what she is doing, to top that it’s confusing which girl to follow.

  • straining my neck to look at the screen constantly is mad as I don’t know what shes doing. anything but relaxed

  • This is a great stretch! The journey of this position is very painful but once completed it’s the best feeling!

  • I love this video. The routine is easy to learn and I have been doing it for several years now. I especially like the music and no annoying voice-over.

  • Wow this really helped,After many methods I’ve tried so far, the only solution that works for me was to use ��Growth Boom Pro and do stretching exercises with it.

    I wanted to share this incredible experience with you. In total I gained 4 inches more height and did not see any negative side effects.

  • Hi there, Just to let you know that I have been doing this great stretching for avery long time. Five year? maybe more… I love it and and like EVERYTHING of this video… starting with you. You look amazing -the way a used to look many, many moons ago.
    Please do more videos. They are inspiring!! January 1st 2020.

  • This is my favorite stretch video on YouTube. I do it after a workout to both stretch and relax, or if my body feels tight, or if my back hurts. I also like that there’s no talking.

  • This is the best, most relaxing stretch routine I’ve found. I love that there is no talking, just relaxing music. I do it at least once everyday ���� Thank you
    Even though she doesn’t talk you through it, just do it a few times and you won’t need instructions. (Listening to instructions over and over again can get very old.)

  • I had this video since 2014 after the break up w/ my worst ex. It helps me stretch and calm my mind after my revenge work out. and this video still be my stretch exercise after my wedding workout. thanks to the woman in that video. your smile makes me through it all:)

  • Whomever is reading this remember to spread as much LOVE AS POSSIBLE, don’t litter, help out the homeless and take care of nature please it’s really important we gotta take care of eachother and mother earth. thank you and have a blessed life ❤

  • I haven’t done this stretch in years, somehow it popped up in my search results today! I’m so grateful I found it again!

  • Favorite stretching routine! I do this almost every morning after I workout. No talking, just moving. It starts my day off with a relaxed smile.

  • Girl you need to show us the stretch then do it lol because I couldn’t follow you along with my phone. Just some advice.

  • Thank you for sharing. I just learned how important it is to stretch before doing some workouts. I just have my muscle spasm on my lower back and it’s because I don’t do some stretching

  • nice video, lovely music, but some instruction would have been handy. with a nice, silky voice, and bet you she’s got that, it would not have been annoying or distracting, as others say. the other thing what you can do just do your own stretching and listen to the music. thank you for this video again, and please, don’t I want any nasty comment, I am grateful for this video but I think everybody has the right to tell their opinion, either a positive or a negativ.

  • It’s a great workout. But should make any sound, so we can know when every movement is done. Thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you so much for this video! This is my favorite full body stretch. Been doing this full body stretch for 4 years ��

  • Everyone in the comments are telling that the girls are fast…
    I say: y to follow their timing.. if we know we need to stretch for more than 5 seconds

  • Please CLICK THE NOTIFICATION BELL! Our subscribers aren’t being shown our videos unless they click the notification bell next to the subscribe button.

  • I’ve been using this for years, inconsistently I must admit, but whenever I go back I always feel good even after day 1 so thank you ☺️

  • Can you make videos for curvey people because many people who are curvery cannot perform some of these steps

  • Very very out of shape here. The last 2 strech was difficult for me, but I feel the result afterwards. Just some input, it’s a bit too fast. However, I love the exercise and will do it at least twice a week

  • The stretching is exactly what I am looking for after a home workout. However, I had to look at the screen constantly as there is no verbal direction as to what is done. I strongly suggest some verbal direction for me to return.

  • Hi I’m a professional bodybuilder and was hoping you could release a video that focuses more on upper body stretches to help regain my upper body flexibility back and improve my performance in the gym and maybe even to loosen up my shoulders a little bit? Would be greatly appreciated!

  • I love this stretch. I needed to know when she’s changing position without looking at the tv so I recorded my own voice over to play with the video. It works.:)

  • Just wanted to let you know this stretching routine has been life changing for me. I feel like a million bucks when I do it daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. It relaxes muscles I didn’t even know I had… I’ve been following this video routine for about 4 years!!

  • It really is going way to fast. I tried to get passed that and do the rest of the video but her voice was just getting to annoying while going all fast sounds like a teenager from the mall.

  • If you haven’t stretched in a while do it with caution…I tried it just now I think I twisted my back like I cramped or sumthin but I fixed it by doing it over again very very slowly…

  • The best stretching routine so far! No bullsh*t at the beginning, straight to the point and easy to follow:)

  • i felt most of the stretches in my legs¿ and i don’t really think that’s supposed to happen and im kind of confused
